You could just deload every other or even every third cycle. I do 3 days a week and I never do a deload, but I'll take a day here and there when I need it.

Hi Sinister, thanks for the suggestion, deloading every other cycle sounds like a good idea, I'll probably try that. I've also been thinking about going to a 3 day schedule, it seems kind of inevitable as the workouts get harder but we'll see.

Hey SweetLou, thanks. Yes I am enjoying it, tremendously in fact. The curve seemed a bit steep when I first implemented the changes you suggested, but I'm adapting to the workload now, feels really good. Cheers!

Good to hear man, your lifts should increase more steadly with the back/hamstring work. If you can try to get your bb row strength up to match your bench, cant bench big weights if your back cant stay tight and support it. Take care man.

Thanks for the tip, I'm gonna do it, I want my bench to get over 300, so I have a ways to go.
